Matcha Love Green Tea by honest-reviews

<sup>*@honest-reviews is a panel of individuals who believe in a better world! While we do not usually buy things at stores, we recognize that most people do. We encourage consumers to choose the goods they support wisely! Not only do you want a high quality product, but you also use your money power to "vote with your dollar", and endorse companies that either help the Earth and humanity or take away from it. We submit these reviews from our panelists in hopes of encouraging people to put some thought and consideration into the goods and services you choose to use and support.*</sup>

Matcha is a green tea makes that the leaves are actually blended in the tea making it “healthier”.
This makes it thicker and darker than a regular strained green tea. It is stronger and also has a bit more flavor.
It’s imported from Japan which makes it “better”, because it’s an authentic cultural brew but also “worse” because it’s imported from so far away as a single use disposable. That’s a lot of resources for one cup of tea!
It’s also not organic, although it is non-GMO.
It does have a lot of antioxidants, so as far as getting your caffeine goes it is on the healthy side.

The flavor is not good or bad. If you like plain green tea it’s fine. I personally would not drink this for the flavor, but for a healthy form of caffeine.

I, like many, love caffeine - especially when I have a lot of mental work to do or have to get up early. In fact, caffeine is by far one of the most common and popular drugs.
As with all drugs moderation is key. I purposely go days where I don’t drink caffeine so as to let my body balance back and detox.
I also like to switch my forms of caffeine. There are many substances that have caffeine, tea and coffee being the most popular.
By switching forms of caffeine intake, your body will respond more effectively to it. The body gets used to and tolerant to the same drug over and over.

I also want to make note for the record that I did not buy this tea, as I do not buy disposables & am also committed to local economy rather than imports.
I have not not bought a coffee or bottle of water at a store in years!
I actually saved this tea from the landfill where it would be now, if not for me saving it and giving it new purpose.
